Stevens Appeared

Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or appeared:

    In the sea, Biscayne, there prinks
    The young emerald, evening star,
    Good light for drunkards, poets, widows,
    And ladies soon to be married.
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    It is a sign of our times, conspicuous to the coarsest observer, that many intelligent and religious persons withdraw themselves from the common labors and competitions of the market and the caucus, and betake themselves to a certain solitary and critical way of living, from which no solid fruit has yet appeared to justify their separation.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
